THE WHEAT CROP.
A Material Improvement the Result of the
Recent Heavy Rainfall in the Grain Belt.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Following is the weekly
crop summary of the Farmers Review: Rains
have materially improved the crop conditions in
Kansas. Missouri, Kentucky. Illinois, and Indi-
ana. and particularly improved the outlook for
winter wheat; while in Iowa, Nebraska, Mime
sofa and Dakota the seeding of the spring wheat
has proceeded under generally favorable condi-
tions, in consequence of seasonable rains. The
average condition. however, of winter wheat,
except in Missouri is falling generally below
that of last year. Very few counties Of Ohio
report the prospect of an average crop. In
Trumbull. Seneca. Putnam, Portage Noble,
Lake, Knox and Fulton counties, in Ohio, the
prospective yield is estimated at from DO to go
per cent of an average crop-averages which
fall considerably below the estimates made at
the same time one year ago. In Indiana the
percentages of condition range higher. and gen.
orally run from 50 to 80 per cent of an average.
In Ford and Perry counties, of Illinois, the
prospect is not regarded favorable for more
than oue-haf an average crop. but the general
averages of the State range from 60 to 80 per
cent, the southern tier of counties making the
poorest showing In Wisconsin the average of
the counties reporting this week ranges from
70 to 80 per cent There have been fine rains
throughout nearly all of Kansas, relieving the
serious drought and improving the outlook for
winter wheat. The average of condition falls
somewhat below that of last year. The reports
from Iowa and Minnesota indicate a full average
acreage sown to spring wheat, and an increase
of acreage in Nebraska and Dakota
